Summer school offers
classes for credit, audit
by Jan Johnson
The summer school cata-logue
will be out within
the next few weeks, offer-ing
a wide range of courses
to take for credit or to
audit for personal enrich-ment.
Session I opens May 25
and runs through June 18.
Ceramics, The Life and
Teachings of Jesus, and
Theology I will be offered
during this session, as well
as Introduction to Compu-ter
Science and Roots of
Oppression: A Human Re-lations
Experience.
There is also a course
called Living in a Chris-tian
Community, which
gives the students the ac-tual
experience of living
and working together in
an ecumenical Christian
community. This course,
which costs $450 for room,
board and tuition, is held
in a Christian community
50 miles north of the Twin
Cities.
Some of the courses of-fered
for Session II, which
runs from June 21 to Aug.
6, are Kinship and Family
Systems, Ceramics, Stu-dies
in the Old Testament,
Horticulture and Account-ing
I.
The tuition costs are
$340 for credit, or $170 for
auditing a course. A $50
tuition deposit is due upon
registration and the bal-ance
is due by the first day
of class. Registration dead-lines
are May 24 for Ses-sion
I and June 18 for Ses-sion
II. Campus housing is
also available.
Besides the regular sum-mer
school sessions, there
are also other summer op-po
rt u ni ties available.
There are graduate courses
for teachers and adminis-trators
of elementary and
secondary schools. There
are also sports leagues and
camps, such as Christian
Basketball Camp, and All-
Star Basketball Camp.
Elderhostel, a total liv-ing
and learning exper-ience
for persons over 60
years of age, is another
summer program of Bethel.
Enrollment ebb cuts budget
by JoAnn Watkins
Jon and Dan Mogck will
perform Saturday, March
13, in a benefit concert for
Student Missionary Pro-ject
(SMP). Tickets will be
sold at the door for $2, and
the concert will be held in
the gym at 7:30 p.m.
"I think a lot of his music
is a spiritual inspiration,"
said Kathy Thompson,
SMP fund-raising chair-person.
"I asked him to do
the concert because of his
Christian testimony," she
said.
"It's all kinds of contem-porary
folk songs," said
John Mogck of the music
he and his brother will be
performing. "It's a mixture
of a lot of original music
and some by more well-known
artists." These art-ists
include Tom Howard,
Jim Croche and Scott Wes-ley
Brown.
We do a lot of different
types of music," he said.
It's a little more mellow
than some kinds of rock
music." The music will be
guitar and voice, with the
addition of piano on some
songs.
Money from ticket sales
will go to SMP for support
of the students going out
this summer on mission
projects.

Though it is a record for a
spring term, Bethel's en-rollment
of 2052 is below
the expected enrollment.
"We're about 25 students
below projection," said
Dan Nelson, director of
enrollment.
"We're down just as
every other school is, but
not dramatically down,"
he said.
Nelson explained that
the college had planned
for a spring enrollment of
95 per cent of the fall se-mester
figure. This would
be 2077.
"We'll raise less money
than we thought; therefore
we'll have to curtail
spending," he explained.
The decrease in enrollment
results in a budget cut of
between $40,000-$50,000,
according to Nelson. He
said that to get around
this reduction people will
be asked to spend less.
"If we're really short,
there will be a mandate to
spend less money," Nelson
said. "We've more often
been in the situation of
having more revenue than
budgeted. He attributed
this to the costs of energy
and expansion.
Nelson said the decrease
in number of students for
spring semester each year
is due to finances. He said
that students often start
college in the fall, don't
have enough money for
spring term, go to work
and then return to college
next fall.
"College enrollment is go-ing
to plateau and decline,"
predicted Nelson. He said
by Jerry Manus
Bethel gets money by
asking for it through the
mail. 28,000 packets are
sent out three times a year
(September , December
and May.) soliciting funds
to cover Bethel's operating
costs.
About 300 of these re-quests
generate responses
in gifts. However, these
that all schools will be fac-ing
this due to the decline
in the birth rate between
1961-74.
"We believe we're near
the top of our enrollment
growth," he said. He added
that Bethel hopes to avoid
a decline in enrollment.
Factors which Nelson
views as affecting this are
the fact that Bethel is not a
state school, strong Bap-tist
General Conference
financial and promotional
support and a maintained
image in the Christian col-lege
market.
gifts often total some
$20,000, making the pro-gram
well worth the $1,000
to $1,500 invested in
printing.

Press equips readers,
needs readers' input
Words and silence can be powerful tools or weapons.
That is part of the reason for the "power of the press"
cliche. Cliche or not, there is some truth to that
statement because the press uses its first amendment
rights to give the public information, facts, which may
or may not be pleasing to those who are the subjects of
the articles.
Those facts may give the public information it needs
to make intelligent and enlightened decisions about pro-ducts,
services, government or more. The facts also can
help keep a reading audience informed about the com-munity
in which it lives. Individuals can make informed
decisions about their own protection and the protection
of their property.
These are some of the reasons the courts have fought
so hard, over the years to establish the libertarian kind
of freedom the press has in this country. That same
freedom extends to virtually every media that serves the
public.
That freedom however can be abused. Only the
slander and libel laws protect individuals, businesses
and groups from being exploited by the press. But there
is one other thing. That is the journalistic desire to write
the facts, with as little error as possible.
When the government and the courts gave the press
such free reign they also entrusted the press with the
responsibility to use that freedom wisely. The govern-ment
assumed that the press would act in accordance
with the weight of responsibility upon it. That also
meant the press had, in a sense, the right to make
honest, nonmalicious mistakes. The press also had to
take responsibility to print retractions and if the error
was gross and did infringe on the rights of others, to
suffer penalties.
Despite all the complaints about the press and what it
does and why it does it, the press is the servant of the
public. As a servant, the Clarion wants to do its best to
serve the needs of the community. If needs aren't being
met the staff wants to know. Use the tool for the pur-poses
it was intended for. Letters to the editor are the
readers' means of contact. Or, in a community of this
size, drop in, and talk to the editors. Give your opinions,
they are worthwhile.
by Kraig Klaudt
Members of the evangelical flock are confident that
their faith is strong enough to withstand the challenges
of apparent contradictions. We have grown accustomed
to affirming Jesus Christ as both God and man, confess-ing
both free-will and determinism and accepting evil
to have been born out of good.
Of recent I have been growing aware of other para-doxes
in my life. I wonder if my faith must suffer these
new contradictions or if I can escape them. This column
offers no remedies, only questions. My questions find
their origin in four situations I have faced recently.
Hopefully other paradoxes will come to mind arising
from your own experiences.
As I wander through Central Station in Madras, a 13
year-old girl draws close to me and beckons my atten-tion.
She has a baby on her arms and is pregnant with
judgment on my affluent society."Sir! Sir!" she pleads,
forcing her hand toward me for money. I know I can't
help everyone. I'll be mobbed if I act charitably in this
crowded place. I look down ahead and quicken my pace
but she becomes more persistent. "No," I say, making
my choice, and walk away with my Yashica FR-2
28mm lense and haze filter.
Later that day I am reading William E. Hordern's A
Layman's Guide to Protestant Theology in the corn-partment
of my train. After a few pages on errancy and
the evangelical defense of truth I idly gaze out of the
coach window and watch an elderly farmer wash his
team of oxen in the river. I read some more on eschatol-ogy
and the nature of God and then I look out to see the
faces of the merchants and the tradesmen in the Indian
countryside. For some reason I break out laughing, the
paradox is so funny.
While in flight to Amsterdam I am seated next to a
middle-aged Muslim. Since neither of us knows the
other's language, he gives me nudge and offers me a
shot of Johnny Walker whiskey as an expression of his
friendship. God refuses my prayers for the gift of
tongues to explain my school's lifestyle to him. The
paradox is unfortunate.
The other day I was at Team Electronics looking at
the $950 stereo which I covet. I presently own a small
Lloyd's unit with a humble pair of Realistic speakers
which I secured for the total sum of $50. Compared to
other systems, the sound I get is noticeably tinny, the
range is poor and it doesn't have auto-reverse, Dolby
and other stereo essentials. As I lust after this new
stereo a wave of absurdity overtakes me. Is it true that I
value greater degrees of sound quality over all of the
other things that $950 could buy for myself or for oth-ers?
The thought causes me to feel nauseated.
Perhaps the greatest paradox is that I am part of a
body of Christians who, for the most part, take matters
like oppression and social responsibility seriously. But,
as if some giant rope has been tightened around us, we
are restrained to verbal sympathy, writing letters to
senators and raising other people's conscience levels.
Unfortunately, this isn't always enough to get us past
the paradoxes. Our lives remain hopelessly contradic-tory
to our convictions. If, for example, my lot is to be
with those refugees who are uprooted from their homes
in El Salvador, who are sick, hungry and under fear of
slaughter, how do I touch them from my mountain-top
existence at an architecturally sound Roseville church?
Quaker educator Parker J. Palmer encourages us to
"live in the contradictions" rather than opt for easy
solutions. "For some of us the contrast between God
and world is so great that we abandon the spiritual
quest. We turn away from God's brilliance and walk in
shadows because we do not wish to see ourselves in an
unbecoming light. For others, the tension is resolved by
disowning the dark world and trying to live in a bright
but private realm. We hold the world at a distance and
seek out situations which satisfy our need to stay 'pure.'
In one way or another, we remove ourselves from the
great dramas of life where God and the world interact,
where contradiction abounds."
I, for one, do not wish to flee from God or from the
world. I pray daily that God will grant both grace and
courage to those who share my predicament.

We, the undersigned members of the faculty of Bethel
College, are distressed by the participation of the Uni-ted
States in El Salvador's civil strife. The U.S. Military
role, represented by military advisors, military fund-ing,
and intimations of direct military intervention, appears
antithetical to the promotion of justice and human free-dom.
Our perceptions are reflected in the following:
1)Conflict resolution in international relations should
be established through negotiations, not violence.
2) Such was the recommendation of the former U.S.
Ambassador to El Salvador. Consistent with President
Reagan's desire for international respect through power,
however, the U.S. posture in El Salvador has generally
ignored the possibility of negotiation with the anti-government
forces.
2) One government should not arm another when
such materials are used to oppress and silence people
and to perpetrate atrocities.
Few doubt that such oppression is occurring in El
Salvador today—consider, for instance the slayings of
Sisters Ford, Clarke, and Kazel and lay worker Dono-van.
Consider President Reagan's recent certification
report to Congress on human rights in El Salvador: no
questions arose as to whether or not violations occurred;
rather, the issue was whether their number was more or
less than in previous years.

3) A government should not further the rule of an
unpopular regime through military support.
Our historical record of supporting inhumane and
inequitable governments has also generally been short-sighted.
We have purchased short-run benefits not only
at great expense to the citizens of those countries, but
also at the expense of our own long-term national
interests.
In El Salvador, atrocities by both government and
anti-government forces are unpopular, yet according to
media sources, the Roman Catholic Church in El Salva-dor,
and secular human rights organizations within and
outside the country, most violence is perpetrated by
government forces and allied paramilitary forces.
4) When one government involves itself in the civil
strife or internal affairs of another, the result should be
peaceful resolution, not heightened conflict.
Concurrent with U.S. military involvement in El Sal-vador
has been increased strife, notably the guerrilla
offensives of the past year. It appears that U.S. military
hardware and guidance has enlarged, not lessened, the
chasm between government supporters and their op-ponents.
5) Development aid to poorer countries is a responsi-bility
of those who are more fortunate. With our own
citizens' lack of food, jobs, health care, education and

other services which are rightfully theirs, we should
make sure that our dollars spent on aid to other coun-tries
are used effectively for economic and social
development.
In 1982, in the United States, much that sustains the
well-being of many Americans is being cut: social pro-grams,
educational programs, health care programs,
protection agencies for environment, consumers, work-ers
and so on. Yet assistance to El Salvador will exceed
100 million dollars, a great portion of which will be
applied to military rather than economic or social
development.
6) Finally, the world's complexities mitigate against a
government dealing internationally in terms of simplis-tic
dichotomies of "we" (rights) vs. "they" (wrong).
Unfortunately, this appears to be the U.S. stance in El
Salvador where the civil war is presented as a world-wide
battlefield between U.S.-backed democracy and
Soviet-backed totalitarianism.
We therefore urge the Congress of the United States
to deny to the administration the appropriations need-ed
to pursue its harmful policies, and we urge our fellow
citizens to continue to voice their protest of such poli-cies
as long as they continue. In our judgment, the
principles listed above, based on justice and human
freedom, are not being followed in El Salvador by the
present administration.

New biology seminars give students tands-on' experience
by Anita Baerg
Melanie Barker is clon-ing
geraniums. Carla
Courtney is working with
birth control in laboratory
animals. Steve Imler and
Ken Wilson are surveying
the ecology of Bethel's na-ture
trail. These four sen-iors
are part of the Biology
Senior Research Seminar
that started last fall.
Gregg Johnson, associ-ate
professor of biology,
said the purpose of the
research seminar is to-ac-quaint
students with re-search
skills, as biological
and scientific educational
institutions are starting to
prefer students who have
had "hands on" laboratory
experience before graduate
school.
"I've been thinking of a
project like this for about
four years," said Johnson,
"but we just didn't have
the staff or the facilities to
do it."
According to Johnson,
students apply for an op-portunity
to do a labora-tory
research project in
place of the normal senior
seminar project, which re-quires
a presentation from
library research only. A
student submits a pro-posal
report stating what
he/she wants to research
and how he/she plans to
do it. This proposal must
be accepted by the biology
department.
Upon acceptance into
the research seminar, stu-dents
work a year to three
semesters on laboratory
experiments supplement-ed
with library research.
Students also give presen-tations
on the results of
their laboratory research
work.
Dr. James Reynhout,
professor of biology, is
chairman of the senior re-search
project. Each of the
students works under the
supervision of a biology
professor. Other profess-ors
participating in this
project are Gregg Johnson,
associate professor in bio-logy,
and Walter Johnson,
assistant professor in bio-logy.
Melanie Barker is cloning ger-aniums
(photo by Don Cope-land).
It all started when I was
doing a paper for genet-ics,"
said Melanie Barker.
She is trying to discover if
any cell in a plant has all
the growth hormones to
enable it to grow into a
whole new plant.
Although this has been
done before with other
plants, to Barker's know-ledge
no one has done it
with geraniums. It is a
time-consuming process,
however, as it takes one to
two months to obtain re-sults
from one experiment,
says Barker.
Barker begins by cut-ting
the pith out of a gera-nium
stem and placing it
on a special media that
has plant growth hor-mones
on it. By adjusting
various hormones and the
amount of light, she hopes
to enable the clone to grow
into a normal plant.
"The technique is new,"
said Barker, "but re-searchers
have cloned with
other plants before."
Graduate school is in
Barker's plans and she
hopes to use this research
as part of her graduate
work. She is working un-der
the supervision of
Gregg Johnson.
Ken Wilson is studying the
ecology of Bethel's nature trail
(photo by Don Copeland).
The ecology, taxonomy
and physical characteris-tics
of Bethel's nature trail
is being researched by Ken

are collecting plants from
the nine nature trail sta-tions
at Bethel. They are
preparing folders for each
station that identify the
types of plants, what an-imals
eat those plants, the
community structure of the
plants and whether they
are edible, poisonous or
medicinal.
In addition to the study
of trail, Wilson is also
researching the chloro-phyll
content of the three
layers of the forest: the
canopy layer, which con-sists
of trees; the shade
layer that includes bushes
and the herb layer, con-sisting
of grass and small
plants.
Wilson plans to go to
graduate school, but not in
botany. "I'd like to go into
chiropractics," he said,
"although that is not cer-tain
yet."
rats and rabbits as "gui-nea
pigs."
When a silicone plug is
put into the female's fallo-pian
tubes the sperm is
not able to reach the egg,
nor can the egg reach the
sperm. To remove the plug
both ends of the fallopian
tube are tied off, and a
saline solution similar to
the cells surrounding the
plug is injected to create a
balloon effect. The uterus
end of the "balloon" is then
untied, and the plug can
float out of the body.
There has been a re-markable
success rate in
this study, according to
Courtney. Pregnancy has
resulted only when the
plug was poorly placed.
Researchers are also test-ing
this method at Stan-ford
University and other
schools.
Courtney plans to go to
medical school next year
to study gynecology and
obstetrics. "By the time I
graduate from medical
school this method of birth
control will probably be in
use," she said.
Jim Reynhout and Wal-ter
Johnson are supervisi-ing
this experiment.
Aside from his study of
Bethel's nature trail, Steve
Imler is conducting a mag-netic
field experiment on
wheat. Imler believes there
is a hormone in wheat that
can be genetically changed
to develop a hybrid of
wheat that requires less
water, yet produces more
yield per acre.
"There is a hormone in
wheat that needs only a
little changing," said Imler,
"and I think the magnets
could give a clue as to
what that change would
be."
Imler began by planting
wheat in a glass beaker.
When a magnet was placed
under the beaker, he found
that the stems did not
grow, although the roots
grew extensively.
He then planted more
wheat, this time placing
the magnets on top of the
beaker. These plants grew
twice as tall as the control
group, which had no mag-nets
on the top or the bottom
tom and developed nor-mally.
"I'll haVe to do a lot of
experiments to get a lot of
data," said Imler. He hopes
to use this information and
special laboratory equip-ment
to discover an
enzyme that would change
the hormone.
Future plans are uncer-tain,
although Imler wants
the continue researching
this wheat hormone so that
he could help developing
countries help themselves
in food production.
"I'm leaving it all to the
Lord," said Imler, "on how
He leads to the discovery
of an enzyme to change
the hormone that will en-able
the wheat to produce
more."

Association seeks to aid Miskito Indians
G. Mitchell
speaks out
on justice
George Mitchell, an
American Indian, will tell
about his people and their
struggle for justice in cha-pel
on Friday, March 12,
at 10:20 a.m. Following
the address there will be a
time for discussion and
response in the AC lounge.
Presently the research

the Minneapolis American
Indian Center, Mitchell has
worked for Native Ameri-cans
in a number of capaci-ties,
including co-founding
and co-directing the Ameri-can
Indian Movement.
Mitchell has also been ac-tive
as a speaker and a
consultant on issues of con-cern
to Indians. In addi-tion
to his work with Na-tive
Americans, Mitchell
enjoys music, reading, art
and sports.
This chapel service is
part of the speaker series
sponsored by the Peace
and Justice Committee.
The purpose of this series
is to educate the Bethel
community about crucial
issues in human rights and
social justice. For more in-formation

Bjorkund
shows his
art works
by Wendi Engel
The new exhibit in the
Bethel Art Gallery is by
Lee Bjorklund, who teach-es
at the Minneapolis Col-lege
of Art and Design.
Bjorklund's work is paint-ing
and drawing.
"What impressed me,"
said Bonita Wahl, art gal-lery
coordinator, "is the
subtle, luminous and bea-utiful
use of color through-out
his work."
Bjorklund uses resin and
oil-base paint for his work.
His paintings and draw-ings
are created on hand-made
paper.
He attended Bethel for
two years and graduated
from the University of
Minnesota.
The show will run
through March 26.

The Social Ministries
office is a fairly recent addi-tion
to the Campus Minis-tries
office. According to
Pastor Jim Spickelmier,
the Social Ministries office
has been a reality only
since 1975.
Before that time, the
Christian Service office
placed students in volun-teer
ministries. Almost all
of this activity was ar-ranged
through local
churches and there was
little or no contact with
outside volunteer agencies.
Between 1975 and 1978
a series of social work ma-jors
did their internship in
the Campus Ministries off-ice
with the intent of con-tacting
local agencies and
placing students with
those agencies. It was a
slow process, but finally
contacts were made and in
1976 the first placements
were made.
In 1977 the program
greatly expanded as it
placed over 100 students
with various agencies, few
of which were church-related.
In the spring of
1979 it was decided that a
full-time staff member
would be needed. Campus
Ministries, with the help
of the Development Office,
wrote a support grant
proposal for a Social Min-istries
office and circulated
it to v, a•n ,t -,m a k i ng institu-
The Bethel Student As-socation
has been alerted
to the needs of the Miskito
Indian refugees in Hondu-ras.
The Association is
considering action to help
the situation.
The Morocon refugee
camp in eastern Honduras
has 5,000 Miskito
Indians in a camp intended
to serve 500. The
World Relief-sponsored
camp estimates that this
number will increase to
10,000 within the
next two weeks.
The Miskito Indians are
a sizable population in
eastern Central America.
They have lived on both
sides of the river separat-ing
Honduras and Nicara-gua.
The Honduran gov-ernment
has set aside a
tribal homeland for the
Miskito, who have avoided
acculturation into the
Spanish-speaking popu-lation.
The United Nations
High Commission on Re-fugees
has recognized this
last spring, Bethel discon-tinued
funding for the So-cial
Ministries office. Be-cause
there was no more
grant money available and
no more support from
Bethel, there was almost
no Social Ministries office.
But the Campus Minis-tries
office was committed
to continuing the office, so
they made room in their
own budget and hired a
two-thirds-time director.
They again used volun-teers
to complete the staff.

considered vitally impor-tant

centralization. The relative
instability in the area,
coupled with continual
border disputes, have
made the Miskito easy
prey to political violence.

of World Relief is
looking for a group of ten
to fifteen students to pro-vide

According to Spickel-mier,
the Minneapolis

1979 a full-time director of

for two years. The second

Reaches All
Time High
In keeping with the times, Beth-el
has this year again reached a
new high in registration. From
every corner of the United States,
as well as in Canada and Alaska,
there are students at Bethel to
receive a part of their education.
Since Bethel is a Baptist school,
there are 354 students of the Bap-tist
faith enrolled. Baptist young
people are not only ones here
though, for there is a total of 17
different faiths represented in the
school body. The total enrollment
of 511 surpasses any previous re-gistration
in the history of the
school. The girls are again out-numbered
this year for there are
334 male students compared to the
total of 177 girls. The state of
Minnesota again leads in the num-ber
of representatives with a total
of 210. At least half of this total
have their homes in the Twin
Cities. Second place honors go to
Illinois with Michigan, Iowa, Neb-raska,
and California next in line.
In the college department there
are 427 students. Of these, 260 are
new students with sophomores and
the students for the new third year
making up the other 167. The vet-erans
again are well represented
this year in that there are 147 of
them taking courses in the college.
There are also three girls who
have previously been in the ser-vice.

Fresh off their upset win
over previously unbeaten
Concordia earlier in the

Auggies are ineligible for
the post-season this year
because of a two-year pro-bation,
they boast the
second-best record in the
MIAC (14-3), trailing only
Concordia (16-1).
Augsburg had proved a
formidable foe for Bethel
earlier in the season, beat-ing

as a team that had
lost more games than it

about how his young team

tournament. That
doubt was erased, how-like
Bethel would again
assume the "giant killer"
role if it held the Auggies
at bay throughout the first
half. Strong guard play
from Mike Hanley and
Billy Lawson paced the
Royals. The backcourt
tandem combined for 41
points. Hanley had 22, (18
in the second half), and
Lawson had 19. The two
also combined for nine as-sists.
In the process the
Royals forged to a 10 point
half-time lead at 40- 30.
Bethel scored the first
two baskets in the second
half to take its biggest lead
at 44- 30. Then the Aug-gies

"I was worried about
how our young players
might do, since they are
not all that experienced,"
Dahl explained. "But the
players who played in the
state (high school) tour-naments
provided the lead-ership
and the other play-ers
followed suit."
In the Royals' first game
against River Falls, they
played their eighth over-time
game of the season
and went down on a "fluke"
play" when the puck trick-led
over the goal line. The
puck barely made it into
the goal and even the River
Falls players were unsure
they had scored.
Bethel gained revenge
for two regular season
losses to Hamline when

In the second half the

and made 32 of 37 attempts
from the field. Bethel,
meanwhile, made only 10
of 13 tries. The Royals
actually held a 32 -23 edge
in field goals and shot a
good 61 per cent from the
field. The difference was
the deadly Auggie free
throw accuracy. Augsburg
iced the game in the last 4
minutes with free throws
as they held on to win
78- 74.

Trackletes'
take part in
quality meet
by Wendy Norberg
The men's track team
recovered this week from
a very tough weekend of
competition. Four Royals
traveled to Kansas City
for the Indoor National
Championships and came
away empty-handed as did
the rest of the team at the
University of Northern
Iowa open meet.
At the national meet
Satch Shaheed was elimi-nated
after the quarter-finals
in the 60 yard dash,
and Tom Plocker and Dave
Jorgenson made it no
farther than the prelim-inary
heat of the 600 meter
dash. Joe Moerkerke jump-ed
6'10" in the high jump,
but was unable to place.
The meet at Iowa's UNI-dome
was, according to
Coach Steve Whittaker,
"an excellent meet. The
guys scored no points and
didn't place but we had
some personal rec-ords
and some good ef-forts;
the competition blew
us away." The competition
included many NCAA Di-vision
II schools and top-notch
unattached athletes.
Notable performances
were turned in by a few of
the Royals. In the field
events Steinar Engebret-sen
continued to improve
his triple jump mark as he
set his personal best at
44'10", and Eric Marquardt
also set a personal best in
the shot put. Don Hauser
ran 1:15.3 in the 600, which
was his best time, and
Brian Holstein's 2 mile
time of 10:22 was a record
for him.
The team will travel to
St. John's tomorrow to com-pete
with St. John's, U of
W-Eau Claire and Ham-line.

Summer school offers
classes for credit, audit
by Jan Johnson
The summer school cata-logue
will be out within
the next few weeks, offer-ing
a wide range of courses
to take for credit or to
audit for personal enrich-ment.
Session I opens May 25
and runs through June 18.
Ceramics, The Life and
Teachings of Jesus, and
Theology I will be offered
during this session, as well
as Introduction to Compu-ter
Science and Roots of
Oppression: A Human Re-lations
Experience.
There is also a course
called Living in a Chris-tian
Community, which
gives the students the ac-tual
experience of living
and working together in
an ecumenical Christian
community. This course,
which costs $450 for room,
board and tuition, is held
in a Christian community
50 miles north of the Twin
Cities.
Some of the courses of-fered
for Session II, which
runs from June 21 to Aug.
6, are Kinship and Family
Systems, Ceramics, Stu-dies
in the Old Testament,
Horticulture and Account-ing
I.
The tuition costs are
$340 for credit, or $170 for
auditing a course. A $50
tuition deposit is due upon
registration and the bal-ance
is due by the first day
of class. Registration dead-lines
are May 24 for Ses-sion
I and June 18 for Ses-sion
II. Campus housing is
also available.
Besides the regular sum-mer
school sessions, there
are also other summer op-po
rt u ni ties available.
There are graduate courses
for teachers and adminis-trators
of elementary and
secondary schools. There
are also sports leagues and
camps, such as Christian
Basketball Camp, and All-
Star Basketball Camp.
Elderhostel, a total liv-ing

Enrollment ebb cuts budget
by JoAnn Watkins
Jon and Dan Mogck will
perform Saturday, March
13, in a benefit concert for
Student Missionary Pro-ject
(SMP). Tickets will be
sold at the door for $2, and
the concert will be held in
the gym at 7:30 p.m.
"I think a lot of his music
is a spiritual inspiration,"
said Kathy Thompson,
SMP fund-raising chair-person.
"I asked him to do
the concert because of his
Christian testimony," she
said.
"It's all kinds of contem-porary
folk songs," said
John Mogck of the music
he and his brother will be
performing. "It's a mixture
of a lot of original music
and some by more well-known
artists." These art-ists
include Tom Howard,
Jim Croche and Scott Wes-ley
Brown.
We do a lot of different
types of music," he said.
It's a little more mellow
than some kinds of rock
music." The music will be
guitar and voice, with the
addition of piano on some
songs.
Money from ticket sales
will go to SMP for support
of the students going out
this summer on mission
projects.

Though it is a record for a
spring term, Bethel's en-rollment
of 2052 is below
the expected enrollment.
"We're about 25 students
below projection," said
Dan Nelson, director of
enrollment.
"We're down just as
every other school is, but
not dramatically down,"
he said.
Nelson explained that
the college had planned
for a spring enrollment of
95 per cent of the fall se-mester
figure. This would
be 2077.
"We'll raise less money
than we thought; therefore
we'll have to curtail
spending," he explained.
The decrease in enrollment
results in a budget cut of
between $40,000-$50,000,
according to Nelson. He
said that to get around
this reduction people will
be asked to spend less.
"If we're really short,
there will be a mandate to
spend less money," Nelson
said. "We've more often
been in the situation of
having more revenue than
budgeted. He attributed
this to the costs of energy
and expansion.
Nelson said the decrease
in number of students for
spring semester each year
is due to finances. He said
that students often start
college in the fall, don't
have enough money for
spring term, go to work
and then return to college
next fall.
"College enrollment is go-ing
to plateau and decline,"
predicted Nelson. He said
by Jerry Manus
Bethel gets money by
asking for it through the
mail. 28,000 packets are
sent out three times a year
(September , December
and May.) soliciting funds
to cover Bethel's operating
costs.
About 300 of these re-quests
generate responses
in gifts. However, these
that all schools will be fac-ing
this due to the decline
in the birth rate between
1961-74.
"We believe we're near
the top of our enrollment
growth," he said. He added
that Bethel hopes to avoid
a decline in enrollment.
Factors which Nelson
views as affecting this are
the fact that Bethel is not a
state school, strong Bap-tist

financial and promotional
support and a maintained

gifts often total some
$20,000, making the pro-gram

Press equips readers,
needs readers' input
Words and silence can be powerful tools or weapons.
That is part of the reason for the "power of the press"
cliche. Cliche or not, there is some truth to that
statement because the press uses its first amendment
rights to give the public information, facts, which may
or may not be pleasing to those who are the subjects of
the articles.
Those facts may give the public information it needs
to make intelligent and enlightened decisions about pro-ducts,
services, government or more. The facts also can
help keep a reading audience informed about the com-munity
in which it lives. Individuals can make informed
decisions about their own protection and the protection
of their property.
These are some of the reasons the courts have fought
so hard, over the years to establish the libertarian kind
of freedom the press has in this country. That same
freedom extends to virtually every media that serves the
public.
That freedom however can be abused. Only the
slander and libel laws protect individuals, businesses
and groups from being exploited by the press. But there
is one other thing. That is the journalistic desire to write
the facts, with as little error as possible.
When the government and the courts gave the press
such free reign they also entrusted the press with the
responsibility to use that freedom wisely. The govern-ment
assumed that the press would act in accordance
with the weight of responsibility upon it. That also
meant the press had, in a sense, the right to make
honest, nonmalicious mistakes. The press also had to
take responsibility to print retractions and if the error
was gross and did infringe on the rights of others, to
suffer penalties.
Despite all the complaints about the press and what it
does and why it does it, the press is the servant of the
public. As a servant, the Clarion wants to do its best to
serve the needs of the community. If needs aren't being
met the staff wants to know. Use the tool for the pur-poses
it was intended for. Letters to the editor are the
readers' means of contact. Or, in a community of this
size, drop in, and talk to the editors. Give your opinions,
they are worthwhile.

Members of the evangelical flock are confident that
their faith is strong enough to withstand the challenges
of apparent contradictions. We have grown accustomed
to affirming Jesus Christ as both God and man, confess-ing
both free-will and determinism and accepting evil
to have been born out of good.
Of recent I have been growing aware of other para-doxes
in my life. I wonder if my faith must suffer these
new contradictions or if I can escape them. This column
offers no remedies, only questions. My questions find
their origin in four situations I have faced recently.
Hopefully other paradoxes will come to mind arising
from your own experiences.
As I wander through Central Station in Madras, a 13
year-old girl draws close to me and beckons my atten-tion.
She has a baby on her arms and is pregnant with
judgment on my affluent society."Sir! Sir!" she pleads,
forcing her hand toward me for money. I know I can't
help everyone. I'll be mobbed if I act charitably in this
crowded place. I look down ahead and quicken my pace
but she becomes more persistent. "No," I say, making
my choice, and walk away with my Yashica FR-2
28mm lense and haze filter.
Later that day I am reading William E. Hordern's A
Layman's Guide to Protestant Theology in the corn-partment
of my train. After a few pages on errancy and
the evangelical defense of truth I idly gaze out of the
coach window and watch an elderly farmer wash his
team of oxen in the river. I read some more on eschatol-ogy
and the nature of God and then I look out to see the
faces of the merchants and the tradesmen in the Indian
countryside. For some reason I break out laughing, the
paradox is so funny.
While in flight to Amsterdam I am seated next to a
middle-aged Muslim. Since neither of us knows the
other's language, he gives me nudge and offers me a
shot of Johnny Walker whiskey as an expression of his
friendship. God refuses my prayers for the gift of
tongues to explain my school's lifestyle to him. The
paradox is unfortunate.
The other day I was at Team Electronics looking at
the $950 stereo which I covet. I presently own a small
Lloyd's unit with a humble pair of Realistic speakers
which I secured for the total sum of $50. Compared to
other systems, the sound I get is noticeably tinny, the
range is poor and it doesn't have auto-reverse, Dolby
and other stereo essentials. As I lust after this new
stereo a wave of absurdity overtakes me. Is it true that I
value greater degrees of sound quality over all of the
other things that $950 could buy for myself or for oth-ers?
The thought causes me to feel nauseated.
Perhaps the greatest paradox is that I am part of a
body of Christians who, for the most part, take matters
like oppression and social responsibility seriously. But,
as if some giant rope has been tightened around us, we
are restrained to verbal sympathy, writing letters to
senators and raising other people's conscience levels.
Unfortunately, this isn't always enough to get us past
the paradoxes. Our lives remain hopelessly contradic-tory
to our convictions. If, for example, my lot is to be
with those refugees who are uprooted from their homes
in El Salvador, who are sick, hungry and under fear of
slaughter, how do I touch them from my mountain-top
existence at an architecturally sound Roseville church?
Quaker educator Parker J. Palmer encourages us to
"live in the contradictions" rather than opt for easy
solutions. "For some of us the contrast between God
and world is so great that we abandon the spiritual
quest. We turn away from God's brilliance and walk in
shadows because we do not wish to see ourselves in an
unbecoming light. For others, the tension is resolved by
disowning the dark world and trying to live in a bright
but private realm. We hold the world at a distance and
seek out situations which satisfy our need to stay 'pure.'
In one way or another, we remove ourselves from the
great dramas of life where God and the world interact,
where contradiction abounds."
I, for one, do not wish to flee from God or from the
world. I pray daily that God will grant both grace and
courage to those who share my predicament.

We, the undersigned members of the faculty of Bethel
College, are distressed by the participation of the Uni-ted
States in El Salvador's civil strife. The U.S. Military
role, represented by military advisors, military fund-ing,
and intimations of direct military intervention, appears
antithetical to the promotion of justice and human free-dom.
Our perceptions are reflected in the following:
1)Conflict resolution in international relations should
be established through negotiations, not violence.
2) Such was the recommendation of the former U.S.
Ambassador to El Salvador. Consistent with President
Reagan's desire for international respect through power,
however, the U.S. posture in El Salvador has generally
ignored the possibility of negotiation with the anti-government
forces.
2) One government should not arm another when
such materials are used to oppress and silence people
and to perpetrate atrocities.
Few doubt that such oppression is occurring in El
Salvador today—consider, for instance the slayings of
Sisters Ford, Clarke, and Kazel and lay worker Dono-van.
Consider President Reagan's recent certification
report to Congress on human rights in El Salvador: no
questions arose as to whether or not violations occurred;
rather, the issue was whether their number was more or
less than in previous years.

3) A government should not further the rule of an
unpopular regime through military support.
Our historical record of supporting inhumane and
inequitable governments has also generally been short-sighted.
We have purchased short-run benefits not only
at great expense to the citizens of those countries, but
also at the expense of our own long-term national
interests.
In El Salvador, atrocities by both government and
anti-government forces are unpopular, yet according to
media sources, the Roman Catholic Church in El Salva-dor,
and secular human rights organizations within and
outside the country, most violence is perpetrated by
government forces and allied paramilitary forces.
4) When one government involves itself in the civil
strife or internal affairs of another, the result should be
peaceful resolution, not heightened conflict.
Concurrent with U.S. military involvement in El Sal-vador
has been increased strife, notably the guerrilla
offensives of the past year. It appears that U.S. military
hardware and guidance has enlarged, not lessened, the
chasm between government supporters and their op-ponents.
5) Development aid to poorer countries is a responsi-bility
of those who are more fortunate. With our own
citizens' lack of food, jobs, health care, education and

other services which are rightfully theirs, we should
make sure that our dollars spent on aid to other coun-tries
are used effectively for economic and social
development.
In 1982, in the United States, much that sustains the
well-being of many Americans is being cut: social pro-grams,
educational programs, health care programs,
protection agencies for environment, consumers, work-ers
and so on. Yet assistance to El Salvador will exceed
100 million dollars, a great portion of which will be
applied to military rather than economic or social
development.
6) Finally, the world's complexities mitigate against a
government dealing internationally in terms of simplis-tic
dichotomies of "we" (rights) vs. "they" (wrong).
Unfortunately, this appears to be the U.S. stance in El
Salvador where the civil war is presented as a world-wide
battlefield between U.S.-backed democracy and
Soviet-backed totalitarianism.
We therefore urge the Congress of the United States
to deny to the administration the appropriations need-ed
to pursue its harmful policies, and we urge our fellow
citizens to continue to voice their protest of such poli-cies
as long as they continue. In our judgment, the
principles listed above, based on justice and human
freedom, are not being followed in El Salvador by the
present administration.

New biology seminars give students tands-on' experience
by Anita Baerg
Melanie Barker is clon-ing
geraniums. Carla
Courtney is working with
birth control in laboratory
animals. Steve Imler and
Ken Wilson are surveying
the ecology of Bethel's na-ture
trail. These four sen-iors
are part of the Biology
Senior Research Seminar
that started last fall.
Gregg Johnson, associ-ate
professor of biology,
said the purpose of the
research seminar is to-ac-quaint
students with re-search
skills, as biological
and scientific educational
institutions are starting to
prefer students who have
had "hands on" laboratory
experience before graduate
school.
"I've been thinking of a
project like this for about
four years," said Johnson,
"but we just didn't have
the staff or the facilities to
do it."
According to Johnson,
students apply for an op-portunity
to do a labora-tory
research project in
place of the normal senior
seminar project, which re-quires
a presentation from
library research only. A
student submits a pro-posal
report stating what
he/she wants to research
and how he/she plans to
do it. This proposal must
be accepted by the biology
department.
Upon acceptance into
the research seminar, stu-dents
work a year to three
semesters on laboratory
experiments supplement-ed
with library research.
Students also give presen-tations
on the results of
their laboratory research
work.
Dr. James Reynhout,
professor of biology, is
chairman of the senior re-search
project. Each of the
students works under the
supervision of a biology
professor. Other profess-ors
participating in this
project are Gregg Johnson,
associate professor in bio-logy,
and Walter Johnson,
assistant professor in bio-logy.
Melanie Barker is cloning ger-aniums
(photo by Don Cope-land).
It all started when I was
doing a paper for genet-ics,"
said Melanie Barker.
She is trying to discover if
any cell in a plant has all
the growth hormones to
enable it to grow into a
whole new plant.
Although this has been
done before with other
plants, to Barker's know-ledge
no one has done it
with geraniums. It is a
time-consuming process,
however, as it takes one to
two months to obtain re-sults
from one experiment,
says Barker.
Barker begins by cut-ting
the pith out of a gera-nium
stem and placing it
on a special media that
has plant growth hor-mones
on it. By adjusting
various hormones and the
amount of light, she hopes
to enable the clone to grow
into a normal plant.
"The technique is new,"
said Barker, "but re-searchers
have cloned with
other plants before."
Graduate school is in
Barker's plans and she
hopes to use this research
as part of her graduate
work. She is working un-der
the supervision of
Gregg Johnson.
Ken Wilson is studying the
ecology of Bethel's nature trail
(photo by Don Copeland).
The ecology, taxonomy
and physical characteris-tics
of Bethel's nature trail
is being researched by Ken

are collecting plants from
the nine nature trail sta-tions
at Bethel. They are
preparing folders for each
station that identify the
types of plants, what an-imals
eat those plants, the
community structure of the
plants and whether they
are edible, poisonous or
medicinal.
In addition to the study
of trail, Wilson is also
researching the chloro-phyll
content of the three
layers of the forest: the
canopy layer, which con-sists
of trees; the shade
layer that includes bushes
and the herb layer, con-sisting
of grass and small
plants.
Wilson plans to go to
graduate school, but not in
botany. "I'd like to go into
chiropractics," he said,
"although that is not cer-tain
yet."
rats and rabbits as "gui-nea
pigs."
When a silicone plug is
put into the female's fallo-pian
tubes the sperm is
not able to reach the egg,
nor can the egg reach the
sperm. To remove the plug
both ends of the fallopian
tube are tied off, and a
saline solution similar to
the cells surrounding the
plug is injected to create a
balloon effect. The uterus
end of the "balloon" is then
untied, and the plug can
float out of the body.
There has been a re-markable
success rate in
this study, according to
Courtney. Pregnancy has
resulted only when the
plug was poorly placed.
Researchers are also test-ing
this method at Stan-ford
University and other
schools.
Courtney plans to go to
medical school next year
to study gynecology and
obstetrics. "By the time I
graduate from medical
school this method of birth
control will probably be in
use," she said.
Jim Reynhout and Wal-ter
Johnson are supervisi-ing
this experiment.
Aside from his study of
Bethel's nature trail, Steve
Imler is conducting a mag-netic
field experiment on
wheat. Imler believes there
is a hormone in wheat that
can be genetically changed
to develop a hybrid of
wheat that requires less
water, yet produces more
yield per acre.
"There is a hormone in
wheat that needs only a
little changing," said Imler,
"and I think the magnets
could give a clue as to
what that change would
be."
Imler began by planting
wheat in a glass beaker.
When a magnet was placed
under the beaker, he found
that the stems did not
grow, although the roots
grew extensively.
He then planted more
wheat, this time placing
the magnets on top of the
beaker. These plants grew
twice as tall as the control
group, which had no mag-nets
on the top or the bottom
tom and developed nor-mally.
"I'll haVe to do a lot of
experiments to get a lot of
data," said Imler. He hopes
to use this information and
special laboratory equip-ment
to discover an
enzyme that would change
the hormone.
Future plans are uncer-tain,
although Imler wants
the continue researching
this wheat hormone so that
he could help developing
countries help themselves
in food production.
"I'm leaving it all to the
Lord," said Imler, "on how
He leads to the discovery
of an enzyme to change
the hormone that will en-able
the wheat to produce
more."

Association seeks to aid Miskito Indians
G. Mitchell
speaks out
on justice
George Mitchell, an
American Indian, will tell
about his people and their
struggle for justice in cha-pel
on Friday, March 12,
at 10:20 a.m. Following
the address there will be a
time for discussion and
response in the AC lounge.
Presently the research
and program director at
the Minneapolis American
Indian Center, Mitchell has
worked for Native Ameri-cans
in a number of capaci-ties,
including co-founding
and co-directing the Ameri-can
Indian Movement.
Mitchell has also been ac-tive
as a speaker and a
consultant on issues of con-cern
to Indians. In addi-tion
to his work with Na-tive
Americans, Mitchell
enjoys music, reading, art
and sports.
This chapel service is
part of the speaker series
sponsored by the Peace
and Justice Committee.
The purpose of this series
is to educate the Bethel
community about crucial
issues in human rights and
social justice. For more in-formation

Bjorkund
shows his
art works
by Wendi Engel
The new exhibit in the
Bethel Art Gallery is by
Lee Bjorklund, who teach-es
at the Minneapolis Col-lege
of Art and Design.
Bjorklund's work is paint-ing
and drawing.
"What impressed me,"
said Bonita Wahl, art gal-lery
coordinator, "is the
subtle, luminous and bea-utiful
use of color through-out
his work."
Bjorklund uses resin and
oil-base paint for his work.
His paintings and draw-ings
are created on hand-made
paper.
He attended Bethel for
two years and graduated
from the University of
Minnesota.
The show will run
through March 26.

The Social Ministries
office is a fairly recent addi-tion
to the Campus Minis-tries
office. According to
Pastor Jim Spickelmier,
the Social Ministries office
has been a reality only
since 1975.
Before that time, the
Christian Service office
placed students in volun-teer
ministries. Almost all
of this activity was ar-ranged
through local
churches and there was
little or no contact with
outside volunteer agencies.
Between 1975 and 1978
a series of social work ma-jors
did their internship in
the Campus Ministries off-ice
with the intent of con-tacting
local agencies and
placing students with
those agencies. It was a
slow process, but finally
contacts were made and in
1976 the first placements
were made.
In 1977 the program
greatly expanded as it
placed over 100 students
with various agencies, few
of which were church-related.
In the spring of
1979 it was decided that a
full-time staff member
would be needed. Campus
Ministries, with the help
of the Development Office,
wrote a support grant
proposal for a Social Min-istries
office and circulated
it to v, a•n ,t -,m a k i ng institu-
The Bethel Student As-socation
has been alerted
to the needs of the Miskito
Indian refugees in Hondu-ras.
The Association is
considering action to help
the situation.
The Morocon refugee
camp in eastern Honduras
has 5,000 Miskito
Indians in a camp intended
to serve 500. The
World Relief-sponsored
camp estimates that this
number will increase to
10,000 within the
next two weeks.
The Miskito Indians are
a sizable population in
eastern Central America.
They have lived on both
sides of the river separat-ing
Honduras and Nicara-gua.
The Honduran gov-ernment
has set aside a
tribal homeland for the
Miskito, who have avoided
acculturation into the
Spanish-speaking popu-lation.
The United Nations
High Commission on Re-fugees
has recognized this
last spring, Bethel discon-tinued
funding for the So-cial
Ministries office. Be-cause
there was no more
grant money available and
no more support from
Bethel, there was almost
no Social Ministries office.
But the Campus Minis-tries
office was committed
to continuing the office, so
they made room in their
own budget and hired a
two-thirds-time director.
They again used volun-teers
to complete the staff.
According to Spickel-mier,

considered vitally impor-tant

centralization. The relative
instability in the area,
coupled with continual
border disputes, have
made the Miskito easy
prey to political violence.
The Open Hands pro-gram
of World Relief is
looking for a group of ten
to fifteen students to pro-vide

According to Spickel-mier,
the Minneapolis

1979 a full-time director of

for two years. The second

Reaches All
Time High
In keeping with the times, Beth-el
has this year again reached a
new high in registration. From
every corner of the United States,
as well as in Canada and Alaska,
there are students at Bethel to
receive a part of their education.
Since Bethel is a Baptist school,
there are 354 students of the Bap-tist
faith enrolled. Baptist young
people are not only ones here
though, for there is a total of 17
different faiths represented in the
school body. The total enrollment
of 511 surpasses any previous re-gistration
in the history of the
school. The girls are again out-numbered
this year for there are
334 male students compared to the
total of 177 girls. The state of
Minnesota again leads in the num-ber
of representatives with a total
of 210. At least half of this total
have their homes in the Twin
Cities. Second place honors go to
Illinois with Michigan, Iowa, Neb-raska,
and California next in line.
In the college department there
are 427 students. Of these, 260 are
new students with sophomores and
the students for the new third year
making up the other 167. The vet-erans
again are well represented
this year in that there are 147 of
them taking courses in the college.
There are also three girls who
have previously been in the ser-vice.

Men's BB falls to Auggies, beats Tommies in last second of play

Fresh off their upset win
over previously unbeaten
Concordia earlier in the

Si Melby Hall to play

Auggies are ineligible for
the post-season this year
because of a two-year pro-bation,
they boast the
second-best record in the
MIAC (14-3), trailing only
Concordia (16-1).
Augsburg had proved a
formidable foe for Bethel
earlier in the season, beat-ing

as a team that had
lost more games than it

about how his young team

tournament. That
doubt was erased, how-like
Bethel would again
assume the "giant killer"
role if it held the Auggies
at bay throughout the first
half. Strong guard play
from Mike Hanley and
Billy Lawson paced the
Royals. The backcourt
tandem combined for 41
points. Hanley had 22, (18
in the second half), and
Lawson had 19. The two
also combined for nine as-sists.
In the process the
Royals forged to a 10 point
half-time lead at 40- 30.
Bethel scored the first
two baskets in the second
half to take its biggest lead
at 44- 30. Then the Aug-gies

"I was worried about
how our young players
might do, since they are
not all that experienced,"
Dahl explained. "But the
players who played in the
state (high school) tour-naments
provided the lead-ership
and the other play-ers
followed suit."
In the Royals' first game
against River Falls, they
played their eighth over-time
game of the season
and went down on a "fluke"
play" when the puck trick-led
over the goal line. The
puck barely made it into
the goal and even the River
Falls players were unsure
they had scored.
Bethel gained revenge
for two regular season
losses to Hamline when

In the second half the

and made 32 of 37 attempts
from the field. Bethel,
meanwhile, made only 10
of 13 tries. The Royals
actually held a 32 -23 edge
in field goals and shot a
good 61 per cent from the
field. The difference was
the deadly Auggie free
throw accuracy. Augsburg
iced the game in the last 4
minutes with free throws
as they held on to win
78- 74.

Trackletes'
take part in
quality meet
by Wendy Norberg
The men's track team
recovered this week from
a very tough weekend of
competition. Four Royals
traveled to Kansas City
for the Indoor National
Championships and came
away empty-handed as did
the rest of the team at the
University of Northern
Iowa open meet.
At the national meet
Satch Shaheed was elimi-nated
after the quarter-finals
in the 60 yard dash,
and Tom Plocker and Dave
Jorgenson made it no
farther than the prelim-inary
heat of the 600 meter
dash. Joe Moerkerke jump-ed
6'10" in the high jump,
but was unable to place.
The meet at Iowa's UNI-dome
was, according to
Coach Steve Whittaker,
"an excellent meet. The
guys scored no points and
didn't place but we had
some personal rec-ords
and some good ef-forts;
the competition blew
us away." The competition
included many NCAA Di-vision
II schools and top-notch
unattached athletes.
Notable performances
were turned in by a few of
the Royals. In the field
events Steinar Engebret-sen
continued to improve
